Introducing the latest addition to the Otterbox family. The new commuter series of cases aer advertised as a hybrid case that is a cross between the impact series (simple skin with protection) and the defender series (“ruggedized” protection).

An in-depth look:

The commuter series case features three levels of protection:

Screen cover that protects your device’s screen from scratches

The silicon that covers the device is strategically placed to absorb shock

Polycarbonate plastic back casing for durability

The great thing about the Commuter series cases is they still enable you to have full accessibility to all of your device’s buttons and plugs. In addition, for all you iPhone lovers, Otterbox has made a special “TL” series for those who have a little taste!

Just like the defender series cases, the commuter series were made for some of the same popular devices:

One of the great things about these earbuds is they have a few options to choose from. They come with a mic and without a mic. If you are using these earbuds with your cell phone, you would probably want to purchase the ones with the mic, as it makes it easy to answer phone calls and speak without being inconvenienced.

Likewise, the earbuds come in four different colors: black, red, pink and yellow. Although the black buds are the best-selling, having three other color options enables you to have a little fun with these.

Since it would be hard to show you how “tangle-free” these are with just merely photos, I have put a YouTube video below, which gives you another in-depth perspective of the amazing Z.Buds:

Accessory Depot carries products that serve three industries: cell phone / laptop accessories, outdoor gear, and marine electronics. In this post, I am going to show you some ways you can enhance your hiking trip with our various state-of-the-art outdoor products.

1. Tents

Lets start with arguably one of the most important items that you will carry on your hiking trip (aside from emergency items), and that is your tent. Since it is usually the largest and heaviest item you will be carrying in your pack, you want it to be compact and light in order to give you more space for other items.

Whether it be a headlamp or a hand-held LED flashlight, lighting while hiking during the early hours can be very important. It is important to find a headlamp that is resistant to water and impact; likewise, you want your LED flashlight to be lightweight and durable at the same time. Here are some of our recommended lighting products from Accessory Depot:

You always want to protect yourself from the elements that you may encounter while on the trail or in the wilderness, so it is important that you have the proper equipment to keep your gear dry.

The first thing I would recommend is any size Dry Pak Roll Top Waterproof case. You can fit a large amount of items in one of these cases, and you do not have to worry about it getting wet. Likewise, the circular top makes it easy to raise it up and away from animals.

One of the things that can really give you and advantage on the trail is a trail watch. Theses watches have various features, such as speed/distance, compass, altimeter, barometer and even a GPS. Below are my recommendations for a trail-rated watch with all the features you will want and need.

Otterbox offers many different series, options and colors for their Drybox cases. For any outdoor enthusiast, or anyone looking for a way to keep things dry for that matter, these cases are just right for you. They offer many features, such as:

Waterproof protection up to 100 feet

They float!

Crushproof

All (besides the 1000 series) have 1/8″ of interior foam for protection

They offer three different series of cases: 1000, 2000, 3000, 8000 and also a 9000 series. In each series contains various options and colors to give you more flexibility. This blog will serve as a guide to help you choose the best series case for your needs.

The 2000 series cases are perfect for the following articles below (you could fit many of the following articles in this case as in the video). This is the perfect size to fit in a backpack for camping, canoeing or even kayaking. Likewise, this is a good size to keep things dry on a boat!

Our last post outlined some very helpful tips on how to be a successful buyer on eBay, and it is only fitting to follow-up that post with a post on ‘Selling on eBay’. This post will teach you not only how to list items on eBay, but it will go in-depth on the different formats you can list your item and the various tools you can use to build a professional looking listing on eBay in order to maximize your profits. Furthermore, we will take you step-by-step in the listing process to ensure that you stay on the right tracks the entire process.

In order to buy and sell on eBay, you must have an account set up with eBay. This is a very easy process, which is outlined for you below:

In the left column, you will see “Not an eBay member yet? Register here” and proceed to click the blue tab “Register” towards the bottom

You will be prompted to enter some of your personal information, in addition to your user id and password.

Continue through the process, and you will have to confirm your email address.

Once you have completed the registration and confirmation steps, you should be prepared to buy on eBay; however, before you start your quest of seeking great deals on the items you’ve always wanted, there are a few things you should know before you start buying.

Once you are registered, you can then begin to sell on eBay. Right now you may be thinking that it is nice to know the steps to sell on eBay, but what can I actually sell to make money? The answer to that is virtually anything (that’s an exaggeration, but seriously). The advice I give to my friends and family is to start by cleaning out your closet and garage. You will find so many things, such as clothes, shoes, sporting equipment, sunglasses, etc. that you never use or wear that you could easily list on eBay and make some money.

For this post, I have dug out a pair of shoes that I no longer want and wish to sell on eBay. In order to list the shoes on eBay (and anything else for that matter), I am going to do the following steps:

From there, take a look at the right area that has a grey tint to it, which says “Sign in to your account”. At this time, go ahead and enter your eBay User ID and your password and click “Sign In”

Once you are logged into your ‘My eBay’, you want to click on the “Sell” tab in the upper right corner of the page. You will then want to click “Start Selling” on the next page:

After clicking the blue “Start Selling” button, you have begun your quest to list your item on eBay. The first thing it will ask you to do is enter three words in the box that describes the item you are selling. In our case, I am selling my New Balance shoes, so I think it would be appropriate to put “New Balance Shoes”:

After clicking “Search”, you want to find the category that your product most accurately fits into. In our case, the “Clothing, Shoes and Accessories” category > “Men’s Shoes” would most accurately fit my item:

Once you have clicked the blue “Continue” button at the bottom, it will bring you to the “Choose a listing form” page.

I would recommend that you choose the “More listing choices” on the left as that is going to enable you to maximize your listing to get the most money out of it (and that is the format we are going to be using in this post)

If you just wanted to keep it simple and list it fast, I would choose the right option, which is “Keep It Simple”

As we begin to create our listing, the first thing we need to do is create a title and subtitle. The title is extremely important because that is the first thing potential buyers will see, so you want to give them as much information as you can within the 55 character title. Also, sine you have so little characters to create a good title, it’s a generally accepted practice to abbreviate words (Good Cond., Wks Exlnt, etc.)

A good title will have the following elements:

Brand of the item

Model (number or name)

Colors, sizes

Condition of the item (NWT= New with tags, NIB= New in box, BN= Brand new, NWOB= New without box)

The subtitle is optional (and costs a bit extra), but I think it is crucial to a good listing in order to get potential customers more information. Check out our title and subtitle below:

The next step is filling in some of the item specifics that have been prepared specifically to cater to the item that you are selling based on the category you chose. Be sure to accurately fill in all of the drop-downs.

One of the crucial elements of a listing is how you represent the product you are selling in pictures. A lot of times, a buyer will base their decision on whether to purchase your product based on how well your pictures show the item so it is imperative that you take good pictures of the item, especially if it’s used.

After taking several digital camera pictures of your item, you want to upload them to your computer so that you can easily upload them to eBay.

Click on the “Add Pictures” button in order to “Browse” your computer to select the pictures you want to include in your listing.

Check out the pictures I have taken of the New Balance shoes:

This next part is the time consuming element of listing your item. The description is there to tell the buyer important information, some of which they would not be able to incur by viewing the photos. Check out my description below:

The next thing you need to do is specify a starting price and the duration of the auction. Since these are somewhat hot shoes, I am going to make the starting price at $39.99. That way, if only one person bids on the shoes, I will be happy getting just $39.99 for them. I also want the item to be on for 5 days. There is no real rhyme of reason as to why, but I do not want it to be on there too short so people will not see it or too long where customers forget about it

You will need to set up your shipping preferences and return policy in order to continue to the next page.

Shipping preferences: since we stated free USPS shipping in our subtitle, that is what we have to set it up to. See below:

After pressing “Go”, you should select “USPS Priority Mail”, which should be the first choice. Then check the “Free Shipping” box to the right

Return Policy: The return policy is really up to you, but it makes your item that much more appealing if you have a return policy allowing them to return the item. See below for an example:

After clicking “Continue” at the bottom, you are all ready to review your listing to submit it for millions of people to see. The one thing I would recommend upgrading to is the “Gallery Plus” feature, which only costs $.35 extra. This gives you a small thumbnail “gallery” picture in the search results pages of eBay:

After thoroughly reviewing the listing for any errors or mistakes, click “Continue” once more to do a one-time seller set up. After creating a seller-account, you will be able to submit your listing and will be on your way to making some money!
